Lakefront Artist Fair

Every year on the first Saturday in May Racine Montessori holds their biggest fundraiser of the year, the Lakefront Artist Fair. Running simultaneously with the Racine Kiwanis Pancake Day at Festival Park, it is an unofficial start to Racine’s summertime festival season.

Over 125 Artisans from all over the midwest showcase their talents including:

Jewelry

Paintings

Pottery

Metal Art

Garden Art

Clothing

And much much more!

In addition to a wonderful variety of original art, there are many other reasons to visit the Lakefront Artist Fair:

Note to RMS families: we rely on each family to volunteer a minimum of four (4) hours of their time in order to make the LAF the success it has become. Sign ups begin in April for the many activities that support the event: park set-up (the day before), artist shuttling, artist unloading, concessions, ticket sales, artist support, children’s booth activities, etc.

Testimonial

I often think about what my education would be like if I could stay at Racine Montessori School for the rest of my school years. I know I would love it. The personalized instruction that I received and the hands-on activities that were presented greatly enabled me to be successful in my present school. I have never learned math very quickly and have always been challenged by it, but while I was at Montessori, I was able to receive more individualized work that helped improve the level of my math skills.
The respect the teachers had for the students, and the students for the teachers, made me look forward to each new day of school. I felt the teachers were more like friends, and so it was easier for me to accept new things.
I was able to express the things I enjoyed doing, such as dance and acting. My teachers put up with the constant proof-reading of plays that I had written, and allowed my friends and I to act out. A Montessori education is one of the best that any child can receive.
